I think he’ll dip into 4.45 range. Maybe even lower. He’s a workout freak. We can’t sell him short there.
4.45 is faster than CMC. If he runs below 4.5 I'll be surprised. CMC was 5'11 200lbs. and ran a 4.48. Steele is 6'0-6'1 225lbs. No way he'll run a 4.45, but he doesn't need to ordinarily, but because he's white he may have run a low 4.5 to get drafted. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see him run a 4.45, but I just don't think he will.
As we've stated before CMC got a shot more than likely because his father was and NFL WR and that carried a lot of pull. CMC grew up around the NFL. However, as others have said, I keep holding out hope that because of what CMC has accomplished other white RB's will get a fair shot, but not holding my breath.Serious question: what difference does it make if he's a late round draft pick or a UFDA on his chances of becoming a meaningful player? Isabella was a 2nd round draft pick, with fastest 40 of his draft year and he has hardly played..
Maybe I'm just blackpilled but, unless he's a super elite CMC type of RB who lights it up, he isn't going to be given a chance regardless of where he gets drafted.
Right now, Shipley is the highest rated white RB at a high of the 5th best RB in the draft. If he comes out. I don't think he's declared as he has said he is playing in tomorrow's Gator Bowl. There's word that he may even play another year at Clemson.
